The Risk of Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS)

Exercise helps improve your figure and health condition. Which is correct perception, but without adequate knowledge, understanding, or proper supervision, it can lead to injuries.

For example, performing the same weightlifting exercises repeatedly in the same posture, it can overuse certain muscles, while the muscles that are neglected, will not be developed. Additionally, incorrect exercise techniques, such as using the dominant side to support more force on the barbell than the non-dominant side. It can cause muscle imbalance, affecting your overall posture and appearance. A condition called “Upper Cross Syndrome” (UCS), characterized by a forward head posture, rounded shoulders, scapular winging, and hunchback (thoracic kyphosis), often includes neck pain, aching in shoulders, or arms.

To prevent Upper Cross Syndrome (UCS), it's essential to seek guidance from an expert trainer who can supervise, plan, and correct your exercise posture. Additionally, analyzing your body structure regularly is crucial for maintaining balance.
